Some conception of the magnitude and brilliancy of the function, which will go down in history as one of the most auspicious gatherings, ever held in Bvanston, can be gleaned from the fact that more than 1,200 ipersons passed through the beautiful club looms during the evening.

James Ryan, a gardener, who made his home in a box car at Hubbard Woods siding in North Winaetka, was burned to death early .Sunday morning in a fire which destroyed his one-room home. The cause of the fire is not known, but it is presumed that the victim overturned the stove which heated the place and that the fire caught from the live coals.

The plan which has been agreed upon for the Intersection o/ the pro- posed elevation with Lincoln street and Ridge avenue, is to change the course of the two streets slightly, and to put a subway under the tracks, through which both of the streets will pass. This will be similar to the sub- way under the Chicago & Northwest- ern railroad tracks, where Emerson; toxicants. He has no relatives that street and Ridge avenue intersect. j can p© located. The scheme comprises the cutting away of the bank on either side of the present tracks, and the depression of Ridge avenue and Lincoln street for about 230 feet in either dirctioh from the subway. It will be necessary to change the course of Ridge avenue a trifle to the west, beginning where the south line of Lincoln street*now meets it, and swing the street in a circle to the west, going through the subway at a forty- live degree angle to the present course of the street. The subway will be placed where the viaduct is now located. After leaving the subway on the north, Ridge avenue will run in a northeast- erly direction for a short way and then turning back into its present course. Change Lincoln Street Course. Lincoln street will turn In a north- westerly direction and upon striking the elevation will run under the via- duct at a forty-five degree angle with its present direction, making a short curve before entering the subway and upon emerging. It will then run in a northwesterly direction to its present roadbed. The curves which the plans provide 'for both-on Ridge avenue and Lincoln street Just before entering the subway will give a good view of the road ahead, and will prevent accidents.

Graves, represen- tative from the sixth Senatorial dis- trict, calling his attention to the pro- posed measure. Particularly active in support of the anti-polygamy reso- lutions are members of the W*. O. T. U., who are devoting much effort in placing the matter before the gen- eral assembly. Every member of the legislature and senate have been ap- pealed to by their constituency due to the work of the "white rlbboners." In twenty-seven different states the anti-polygamy resolution has been adopted by the state legislatures. It Is hoped by the W. C. T. U. workers to get the encouragement of the ma* Jority of state legislatures, and when the subject is placed before Congp « asking for an amendment to the fatb article of the constitution that poly- gamy shall be prohibited and that congress be given power to enforce such prohibition by appropriate legis- lation, the movement will receive im- mediate and careful consideration., Resolution In Brief. The resolution states that inasmuch as investigations have revealed that polygamy still exists in certain places in the United States and that the prac- tice Is generally condemned by the people, federal control is the only solu- tion for its prohibition. However, it is not intended to deprive any state of the right to enact and enforce their own respective marriage laws. If the Illinois general assembly con- curs along with othor law-making bodies, application will then be made to congress looking toward action in calling a convention to propose sn whereby polygamy .end polygamous cohabitation shall be prohibited. The secretary of the state has been direct, ed to furnish copies of the resolution to all the congressmen and senators of the United States. Hundreds of constituents of Repre- sentative Graves are much interested In the anti-polygamous resolution, and 'the' effort being made urging him to support the measure Is hoped to bring results. The - legislature reconvenes in Springfield 'Wednesday, and it is thought that some action will be taken on the resolution this week. liti........
